For example, in a Timeline view grouped by Assignee, creating a task by clicking in Sam's row will automatically assign the new task to Sam.

To add tasks to your Timeline view:

  • Click anywhere on the timeline canvas to add a task.
  • You can either search for an existing task or create a new one.
